Retired trooper who recently purchased the 3x - ATN Night Trek Night Vision Device

I am a recently retired WV State Trooper and I have used Night Vision in the past for surveilance. (Search warrants etc.) The devices I have used in the past were very expensive. I expected the Night Trek 3x to be of poor quality due to the price. Was I ever wrong! The unit is compact, light weight, and it looks/feels rugged. I tested the unit at approx. midnight. The clarity is superb. I live in a very rural area with no exterior artificial lighting. This Night Vision allowed me to see clearly. (As clear as during the daylight.) The down side to the unit is the magnification. At 70 yards, objects appear to be 70 yards away.(ha-ha.) For the money, exceptional performance thus far.
Pros: price, ease of use.
Cons: magnification
